    This 2007 color photograph showcases the Library, located on the Ground Floor of the White House, after its refurbishment during the administration of President George W. Bush. The red-painted chandelier inspired the 2007 refurbishment of the shelves and fabrics. Created in 1935 during the administration of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, the Library sometimes serves as a location for televised presidential interviews. The room is furnished in the Federal style with many furniture pieces attributed to Duncan Phyfe.
